Abstract:
Providing Infrastructure to a variety of application and web developers, which ultimately serves the needs of 450+ million plus end users is tricky at best. Needs in terms of environments, monitoring, support, and SLAs varies from product to product and group to group, and Mozilla IT does its best to service them all.
As part of this, Project Petri was formed in late 2011 to help integrate ideas and practices from "cloud computing."
Per https://wiki.mozilla.org/Petri, "Project Petri is a 1-year experiment in providing a Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and/or Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering to make it easy for people with new ideas for web apps to try them quickly, with minimal impact on IT/Ops, and with an on-ramp to making webapps that are better/safer/faster/more maintainable if the ideas they're testing prove to be useful."
Late 2011 and Q1 2012 were spent exploring various options and Q2 2012 will see us build out initial services for our developers to utilize. We'll be building an IaaS service based on Eucalyptus 3.0 and a PaaS service with Cloud Foundry.
My talk with provide a brief history of Mozilla's challenges, how Petri arrived at the decision to use the technologies we have, and provide a status update for our progress with our "alpha" in Q2 2012.
The goal of this talk will be to share some of the challenges Mozilla IT has faced in building more self service type services and their adoption amongst our developer teams and provide some real world feedback on how Eucalyptus and Cloud Foundry work.

Tristan will be explaining how Mozilla is moving to mobile browsing with Firefox for Android and the very exciting Boot 2 Gecko project. The talk's title is (in French): "Mozilla et le Web mobile : de Firefox pour Android à Boot 2 Gecko"

jQuery UK 2012 was the first European jQuery conference and as such, the 320 available tickets sold out within three weeks.
We're glad to report that the conference proved to be a huge hit with overwhelmingly positive feedback from delegates and speakers alike. "I can safely say it was a massive success," said 2012 speaker Christian Heilmann from Mozilla. "The success of a conference very much depends on the passion of the organisers and the group behind this one has passion to spare."
This inspired us to do it all over again, and for our second outing we want to be even more ambitious. Go big or go home. Needless to say John has lined up another cracking speaker line-up for 2013. But it's also an opportunity for us to give something back to the community and show how committed we are about what we do.

OWASP's Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. ThreadFix is a software vulnerability management platform that allows organizations to track the results of testing and communicate vulnerabilities to software development teams. Used together, these open source tools allow organizations to build a comprehensive program of web application security testing and vulnerability management. Security analysts can perform automated and manual testing of critical applications, track the results of their testing and report metrics on their program's effectiveness. This webinar walks through the basics of using OWASP ZAP for web application scanning and testing. It then demonstrates storing and managing these results inside of ThreadFix and communicating them to development teams for resolution. Developers and security professionals alike will benefit from seeing how these two tools used in combination can allow any organization to start taking control of the security of their web applications.

A gathering for Front-End Lovers and Business Entrepreneurs to discover the current trends to build a professional career.
Allen Wirfs-Brock's Talk Title: JavaScript: The Machine Language of the Ambient Computing Era
We are well into the transition away from PC centric computing. But the new order isn't just about mobile phones and tables. It's about all of us living in a world that is augments by the ambient presence of billions of computing devices. And they're all going to be programed using JavaScript! Well, at least a lot of them will be. In this presentation I'll be discussing how JavaScript is changing the world, and how the world is changing JavaScript.

Front-Trends focuses on web and mobile developers, interaction and UX designers, and tech entrepreneurs.

The Kansas City Developer Conference a Kansas City based non-profit, is pleased to announce our 5th annual event. The event is scheduled for the May 3-4 2013 with a full day pre-compiler on May 2nd. KCDC13 will be held at Bartle Hall in downtown Kansas City.
The Kansas City Developer Conference is a three-day, multi-track conference that covers all aspects ofsoftware development and agile project management.

From case studies to project management, from new technologies to established ones, from development environments to best practices and mobile development, everything a javascript ninja should know will be covered during the jsDay 2013.
Among the topics you will find client side and server side javascript, best-practices, success cases related to quality, revision control, test-driven development, continuous integration, jQuery, MooTools, YUI, NodeJS, Backbone.js, Three.js , SproutCore, Raphaël, Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile, HTML5 and many more.

What you don't know will hurt you: Designing with and for existing content
Are you trying to make responsive design scale for a complex site? Building an app, but your organization doesn't have an API yet? If so, you've probably got legacy content—content that already exists, and that doesn't fit neatly into your new project.
What do you do? You could ignore it and end up with one of those responsive homepages that devolve into big content blobs after just one tap, or a one-off mobile site that no one can remember to maintain. You could put it off until it becomes the bane of your existence: the thing that "breaks" your design, because it's way messier than you’ve planned for.
Or, you could deal with it. If you take the time to make existing content work for you—by understanding what you've got, identifying patterns and relationships in its structure, and cutting the cruft along the way—you'll end up with a system that will not just support your content, but _enhance_ its meaning, message, and power.
In this talk, you'll learn how to start analyzing content and understanding its structure—and see how content knowledge can help make your mobile products better and longer-lasting.

"ZenIRCBot and the Art of Pub/Sub"
Pub/sub has been growing in popularity for various pieces of infrastructure due to how much bigger our networks are getting. The publisher being able to completely ignore if there is anything listening or not and just fire off messages means that if a part of your infrastructure goes down it doesn't bring down the other parts.
I'll be using my bot, ZenIRCBot, as a case study for pub/sub that is more approachable. ZenIRCBot connects to IRC then sends the things it receives into a redis pub/sub channel, it also listens on a pub/sub channel for things to do such as sending messages to IRC channels. On the other side of these channels are services that listen for events, react, and send back things to do. Or maybe they just listen or just send things to do, there is no reason why they have to both listen and send commands, this is the beauty of this services based model.
This talk will be comprised of:
A basic intro to Redis and what it is capable of.
What pub/sub is and some basic examples.
The case study: ZenIRCBot
Problems and other various difficulties I've faced.
Where is this project going?

Fixing the mobile web
Tuesday, 28th – 10:00
The mobile web got a bad reputation by now. Over-inflated promises, partnered with platforms that didn't allow HTML5 apps to access what they need and non-enthusiastic copy attempts of native apps made it seem like a hack and not worth exploring further. In reality the mobile web is the platform to bet on - if you care about reach and sustainability of your product.
In this talk Chris Heilmann shows how Firefox OS gives the mobile web the boost it needs and why it makes sense to bet on HTML5 and brush up what you already publish instead of betting on a new platform.

O'Reilly's Fluent Conference was created to give developers working with JavaScript a place to gather and learn from each other. As JavaScript has become a significant tool for all kinds of development, there's a lot of new information to wrap your head around. And the best way to learn is to spend time with people who are actually working with JavaScript and related technologies, inventing ways to apply its power, scalability, and platform independence to new products and services.
Fluent Conference provides a variety of forums for learning, from workshops and sessions with experts to the "hallway track" between sessions, where attendees informally connect and share questions, knowledge, and perspectives with their peers.

JSConf is a unique conference organization, because we aren't really a conference organization at all. We are a very loose federation of developers who share the same general idea about how a technical conference should be held. We don't believe that one model or process fits all communities, in fact we are big advocates of locally run events driven by passionate individuals dedicated to the community. We make events that aren't from the standard conference playbook because we believe you (attendees, speakers, and sponsors) deserve more than that. We focus on two things, pushing the boundaries of what is thought to be conceivable with JS and providing exceptional human social activities that encourage community and friendship building. That sets the general tone for each of our events and from there, local individuals from each region drive the conference to its own incredible level of excellence. Our mission is to make the technology community better, more diverse, and more human; in short, we just want to make things better. JSConf does not focus on what is popular or cool now, but on topics that define and revolutionize the following year of technology. We have been the launching point for some of the most revolutionary products, services, and technologies on the web. We have also been the inspiration point and support base for a wide range of conferences beyond the "JSConf" name.

Frederik's talk:
Abstract:
The Same Origin Policy is the foremost security policy in all
browsers. Like most browser code, it underwent a significant amount
of changes to keep up with the recent development for HTML5. This
talk covers the Same Origin Policy implemented in modern browsers.
It goes into detail where browsers behave similarly and where
differences occur. The presentation of noteworthy exceptions,
regardless of whether they are intended or have evolved out of
legacy features, is then followed by an analysis of previous flaws.
We identify parsing mismatches as the key source of policy bypasses
and suggest methods to analyze and test browser code with regard to
this discovery. The talk also gives an outlook into things that may
come and evaluates the origin as a measure to bind authority for
HTML5 APIs. Using our methods we have also identified security
issues in the Java Runtime Environment and Mozilla Firefox, which
will be presented in the end.

Angelina will be presenting: "Building Apps for Firefox OS."
"Launching around the world one country at a time is Firefox OS, Mozilla's push to bring smartphones to developing markets and provide an open alternative to proprietary phone operating systems.
Building applications for Firefox OS is easy for even a marginally experienced web developer, particularly those with front-end experience. Server-side friends should participate too - apps need servers to talk to in order to accomplish interesting things from time to time after all.
We'll discuss the operating system structure, device APIs, UX and UI guidelines, as well as how to publish your app in the app store, whether for free or for pay.
Having a device is not mandatory to participate: the Firefox OS simulator add on is suitable to get started. Angelina will be bringing several devices for you to test your app on though too, as nothing is better than the real deal when it's in your hands.
Special perk: If you happen to use your CampJS experience to make an app or the better portion of an app for the marketplace - you might just get to be taking one of these devices home with you."

State of the Browser is coming back this year to bring you the latest on the web standards front and talks on where the web is going.
Christian will be presenting: "Open web apps – going beyond the desktop"
A lot has happened in the world of the web in the last year. One of the main changes is that users are more likely to use apps on mobile devices instead of web sites and desktop browsers. The disappointing part of this is that the most successful platforms on mobile don’t have any sufficient support for web standards based solutions. The Open Web App proposal of Mozilla wants to change that and already has proven itself in various emerging markets. In this presentation Chris Heilmann from Mozilla will show how you can turn an HTML document into an app and reach beyond the capabilities of web sites without having to learn a new development environment. The start and the end of this journey is the browser.

‘Applification’ of business and implications for security: Securing software development
Agile software development is critical in enabling rapid adaption and speed to market for new applications. The continued ‘applification’ of business highlights the importance of embedding security into the SDLC to ensure security architecture is in place to minimise vulnerabilities and ensure software meets regulations and OWASP standards. Often there is a lack of communication between security and development as the business pushes to make the application available as quickly as possible. So how can security professionals ensure that applications are secure by design? How can security and development work together to achieve best practice and ensure the rapid delivery of secure applications to enable business growth securely? How can DevOps be used to embed security into the development cycle?
This session will bring together security practitioners and developers to discuss how to build security into design.
